Show Preview - Wake Owl - Brillobox - 2.26.12 - Concert Preview

Wake Owl will be performing Tuesday, 2.26 at the Brillobox. Wake Owl is singer/songwriter Colyn Cameron who has been collaborating/performing over the last decade. Originally from Southern California the former west coast artist was into rap and hip-hop before picking up a guitar and teaching himself to write and play. .Currently based in Vancouver and Portland Colyn is touring behind his debut EP on Vagrant Records entitled Wild Country.

From his press:

After graduation Colyn trained in organic agriculture at Emerson College in England, worked on different farms throughout the UK, Germany, Chile and Canada, and traveled the world. Colyn found his journeys to be a catalyst for writing songs. “My writing process is always changing. I usually find the most inspiration after these long periods of not having too much of my own space, touring or traveling. A lot just tends to pour out rather quickly,” he reflects.

Upon returning to Vancouver, Colyn spent some time playing in bands before deciding to record the songs he had written after his journey, and thus began the Wild Country EP. “With this EP I was really focused on just creating recordings I could be proud of and felt connected to as a group of songs. I wanted to capture and represent, in all its instrumentation and arrangement, what those songs mean to me,” says Colyn. The result is a five-song EP that harvests raw, honest emotion through Colyn’s words and melodies.

Show begins at 9:30 with doors at 9p. Tickets are $8 and can be found here. More information about the band can be found at these sites:
